  • Ahhhhh I really enjoyed St Thomas Carnival in the US Virgin Islands. They had their carnival the last weekend in April and I went from Wednesday to Monday and had a great time with the US Virgin Islands Tourism team. This press trip was so much fun from the parties, the food, the village nights, the parade and I loved my costume from Ultimate Legacy Troupe. Let me know in the comments below if you would travel to St Thomas Carnival in the US Virgin Islands. Fun fact, US Citizens don't need a passport to travel to the Virgin Islands so if you're looking for a Caribbean carnival to experience - check them out. The US Virgin Islands also has carnivals on the islands of St. Croix and St. John.

    I would definitely go to St. Thomas for Carnival. I’m just looking to get out on da road☺️ for the first time this year. This looks like a good option for me next year❤

    St. Thomas truly looks beautiful, I will surely add this location to my bucket List. Carnival Day choreography and theatre use to be a basic criteria to win band of the year in Trinidad carnival in the 90's and 2000's especially if you played with Peter Minshall or Brian Mac Farlane. Due to this youthful generation, the theatrical aspect of Carnival is slowly being phased out as what represents mass now is more marketable for tourism purposes. Thanks so much for this video, was truly interested in visited the USVI.

      Thanks so much for watching Kevin and for dropping some knowledge! Wow I would have loved to play mas in T&T in that era - definitely think more traditional aspects need to be brought back. Would a band like K2K still have that choreography and theatre aspect? Again, thank you for watching the video

      @@Bahamianista As a child in that era it was great to be in the stands of the QPS watching the display. It was like Brazil Carnival with semi-large floats. Could you image now asking Tribe, Yuma and or Rogue masqueraders to do choreography. Only Lost Tribe make a decent effort. I guess thats why they won this year.

    Loved the video! Here in St. Thomas for the first time and my birthday falls during the adults parade! Just wondering, did you go to all the events alone or did you have people you met up with? Like you walking in your costume was that with a troupe or just solo?

    Going to St. T carnival this year which brought me to this video. Just trying to understand transportation taxis there and where to stay central to easily get around

      Hi there. Charlotte Amalie is the best area to stay because it's where they hold the main events in the carnival village - I stayed at the Pink Palm - taxis were readily available from the airport or you can ask hotel staff to recommend a driver. Where we stayed we literally could walk to restaurants shops and the Carnival village and other than that took rides to the start of the parade and jouvert.
